how can i tell if the stock has been cut-off or modified on this gun? There is no butt plate on the end..it always just had a shoulder pad slipped on.

Show us a picture and you'll likely get insightful opinions from several experts.

ok, i will...i am suspect since the butt plate is missing...let me try to get some photos on here...thanks.

Larry - 3 fours? Never heard of such a thing. We had 6 Stromberg 97's on our B Gasser '38 Chevy

I was waiting for that post.

I think somewhere, somebody got off track....this was my grandaddy's gun, he bought it new..it was made in 1920...it was the first gun i ever shot or hunted with. When he died in 1978, he left me the 1963 chevy impala... i traded my uncle...who got the parker, back then...even up..

Ooops . . . sorry Bill. We tend to get a little off track here sometimes. No disrespect intended and we hope you're not offended.
Show us some pictures and some of us might render an opinion. You've already met a few of the most experienced Parker people here . . . they just got a little sidetracked by your mention of the Impala. You see, we have other interests too . . . besides Parkers, that is. :cheers:

Bill,
Sorry to vary from your subject it just seems to happen. If that was my grandfathers Parker it would be absolutely priceless to me. You are very fortunate to have been able to regain possession. Please post some photos when you get a chance.

John, Sorry dual quads, things get a little fuzzy after nearly 40 years.

Especially when age sets in! :bigbye:
